Free motion embroidery workshop

 
 

“I attended Agy’s basic free motion embroidery workshop and was so happy with the knowledge and skills I learnt from her. And I went again to have the intermediate class with her. She’s very helpful and happy to answer my questions at anytime. I will definitely be going again when she has come up with another workshop for me to attend” - Lynda

Broderie anglaise masterclass

Agy shares the intricacies of broderie anglaise, a technique popularised in the 19th century to create open worked spaces in a variety of shapes and sizes. Agy used this technique together with free motion embroidery to create her delicate soft sculptures.

This session focuses on the foundations of the Broderie Anglaise technique (stems and eyelets), and includes a kit to get you started.

Next session - 4 Nov, 2pm

Stitch meditation workshop with Agy

Join Agatha "Agy" as she takes you through a short meditative stitching session, exercises, and a brief discussion on the outcome. Agy realized the importance of slowing down and connecting with yourself. The aim of this session is not to make a product but to bring slow into our lives.
